Jehovah’s Witness Policies: Watchtower Service Department

In this podcast, JT explains the role of the Watchtower Service Department in a conversation with Daniel. The Service Department is one of the most important departments at Bethel. It is instrumental in handling all of the policies and handling issues that come up in the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world.

Many times this department is entrusted with making decisions that are considered “one off” where it may only affect the congregation that has a specific issue. Thus, nothing is written up in any publication for the rest of the congregations. The information given is considered for the eyes of the congregation they are assisting.

In a subsequent video, JT will provide a number of examples outlining some of the issues that has come up in the past and how it was handled by this department.

There are countless Watchtower publications […] […]

When one of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses is spotted at a liquor store located some 23 miles from Bethel, an unknown person captures it all on footage. It’s amazing when you think about the amount of liquor he’s purchasing. Imagine if a local brother in the congregation was caught purchasing the same amount […]

Higher Education has been discouraged by Jehovah’s Witnesses from its very beginning in the 19th century. Even before this group came to be officially known as JW in 1931, their founder Charles Taze Russell was advocating that even finishing High School had little value and a waste of time. Despite living in the technological 21st […]

How many times has a Jehovah’s Witness gone door-to-door offering the Watchtower and Awake! Magazines and boldly proclaiming that they offer free home Bible studies. It’s way too many times to count. They often brag about not paying tithes to the organization and are quick to point the finger and judge parishioners belonging to other […]

In this podcast, special correspondent, Mark Martin continues with JT and Daniel in their discussion on Blood Fractions and Blood Transfusions. Blood is living tissue.

Malawi Vs. Mexico Jehovah’s Witnesses are proud to tell others that they live by the same teachings all over the world.
